The Next Chapter in Story Development

I Want to DWGlieve

January 25, 2016

Hey Dramatireactivatedxfilers,

No Dramatica meeting tomorrow night, but getting ready for our Writers Group next Tuesday, Feb. 2nd. We're going to take a look at a 3-page outline from Shawn G. You may remember reading the first act of a rough-draft screenplay that Shawn brought in a few months ago -- this is an evolution of that project.

If you plan to come next week, write me back and I will forward you the outline as soon as it's ready. Probably Wednesday. As always, please be prepared to e-mail your comments if you receive the material and then can't make the meeting. I'll give you Shawn's addy if you need it.

Since there's already a storyform for this project (though we can change it if we have to), I'm thinking what we might do -- after the initial round of feedback -- is explore the appreciations a little more thoroughly, maybe even map out the Signposts. We don't often have an opportunity to get that deep into the storyform, since we usually only have time to hash out the broad strokes.

Anyway, looking ahead, we've got a script lined up for the 2/16 DWG, so if you'd like to schedule a project in March -- 3/1 or 3/15 -- let me know anytime.

Enjoy your free Tuesday evening, and we'll see you next week!

For some strange reason the system this site lives on doesn't get along with AOL. We've been trying to create a workaround, but if you have another email account besides AOL, I suggest using that one for this form. Once you and I establish contact, we can each go back to AOL. Sorry about that.

Writers Group

The Dramatica Writers Group presents authors with an opportunity to receive direct feedback on stories they may be working on. Only one requirement--be willing to offer feedback for other authors as well! We welcome new people and projects.

The Writers Group meetings generally are on the first & third Tuesday of each month, from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM, though it is recommended that you check the Writers Group notices for any last minute changes in the schedule.
